Ah, I didn't mean "a" 5Mpix camera but specifically the one's my review is about. There seem to be a lot of Chinese manufacturers or shops which are re-branding these and you can't find too much info about them. Hence the review. I saw some more pictures of the ACTi E33 recently and while decent the real image detail and resolution are a bit disappointing to me. Especially in the background there is a lot of compression or something going on. Maybe the lens is a bit too fuzzy for that many megapixels? I know they aren't that expensive for a brand camera, but still!

New to the forum, so hi! I recently wrote a few blog posts about the cameras I have, my tests and experience with them (including downloadable firmware collection, etc.). From what I have read in the forums, there isn't much known yet about the 5Mpix camera I use. So hopefully I don't offend anyone posting the links here so that people can watch the samples I have made! Hopefully it can benefit people who are trying to decide on what camera to buy and to maybe buy something Chinese or not. I have also tried to list all the different variants I was able to find. There seem to be a lot of 5Mpix camera's out there which are using the same internals (TI DaVinci DM368 DSP) , thus also can use the same firmware! If your interested you can read the review here: http://blog.quindorian.org/2013/03/ipq1649x-1080p-outdoor-ip-camera-with-5.html In a different post you can also find samples if IPScam cameras and one from dealextreme. Also, I have posted a way of generating timelapse videos using any RTSP camera which doesn't have support for HTTP. It uses the MPEG4/H264 stream through VLC using GPU acceleration to lower the CPU load: http://blog.quindorian.org/2013/03/rtsp-to-jpeg-timelapse-script-using-vlc.html wvcdUKGe3-8 Be sure to select 1080p or "Original" quality if you have an monitor capable of higher then 1080p. If all this is a bit too much of a plug or linking is not allowed, I'll remove it ASAP, just wanting to share the information. I am not affiliated with anyone and am actually trying to create an info page about the hardware used in these cameras and which brands and models are using the same internals.
